Just a brief comment for discussion: The way MSM framed this whole debate has back-fired. They basically are calling the union workers lazy, greedy parasites. Really? Police officers and firefighters? Garbage collectors and state park workers? Teachers?The corporate media indirectly is saying the hard working people should give up pensions, retirement plans, social security, give all that up just so the elite can skim that money. The very elite who caused the crash.Good luck with that, asswipes.It's time.To walk like Egyptians.

You know, I'm not against people protesting non-violently (I've done it myself on several occasions), but what I'd prefer to see is MOST people VOTING semi-intelligently and 'humanely' ! Ideally, we shouldn't even have to have this sort of protest in a democracy because enough people should be smart enough NOT to vote for these cock-suckers in the first place! IF people had voted humanely back in November, we wouldn't be spending our time trying to fight more shitty legislation from the Repukes, we'd have mostly decent politicians who would be passing legislation to improve the lives of the middle-class & downtrodden, and the world in general. Once these assholes are in office, it's twice as hard to stop them, especially the amoral Repukes. It's like closing the door after the horses are out of the barn... Too many dumb-fucks like to vote for guys like Nixon, Reagan, W, (and I have to include Clinton and Obama there also) because they TALK a good game and then - - - lo and behold - - - they're out of a job because they're doing anti-worker things in order to garner campaign donations and endorsements from the wealthy corporatists.

It's about education, it's about understanding these type of folks were FOR child labor, those who saw NO foul in cheating the workers and in killing them…grinding them in the industrial machinery…that led to…..the Molly McGuires, Triangle Fire, Matewan, UAW and the auto industry, this all started to die w/ post WW2 congressional meddling w/ labor's rights...and with Right wingers watering down HISTORY courses in HS cause we can't have our actual history being taught...."you don't get me I'm part of the Union..."Now it’s popular with some alleged “people” like Limbaugh and others to call Union members, (Teachers, Fire Fighters, Police) parasites….really?

We have to ask ourselves where are the Molly McGuires now that we need them…
